Bill Bowman has been named the
American Angus Association Chief Operating Officer (COO),
effective immediately. Bowman has been with the Association for
16 years, and also serves in other leadership roles such as vice
president of information and data programs, director of
performance programs and president of Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI),
a subsidiary of the Association. He began his tenure at the
Association as a regional manager, traveling Colorado, Kansas
and Oklahoma, and later became the first director of commercial
programs. As COO, Bowman
will oversee the daily operations of the Association. He will
work closely with Bryce Schumann, the Association Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) and all departments.
“Bill understands the needs of
the membership and the importance of customer service, as well
as all departments within the Association,” Schumann says.
“He’ll be instrumental in ensuring that the Association
continues to provide programs and services to our membership and
the commercial cattle producer now and in the future.”
Bowman is a Stet, Mo., native
and a graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia. He is
active in industry organizations, serving on the Beef
Improvement Federation (BIF) board of directors and as chairman
of the Ultrasound Guidelines Council. He has previous experience
in the Angus seedstock business and in sale management.
The COO position is an integral
part of the executive management team that Schumann established
shortly after taking on the role of CEO. The executive
management team is designed to more efficiently manage the
Association and ensure that all of its entities work more
closely together.
